Authorities in southern Greece have arrested a village chief, his brother, and a firefighter as part of an investigation into a suspected arson ring and related extortion activities. The arrests follow a two-year probe into a series of fires set to intimidate local farmers and exploit them for financial gain.
Sources indicate that the individuals are accused of fire-setting to coerce farmers into paying for protection or to seize government subsidies intended for agricultural support. Reports suggest that this group operated in the region of Gargalianoi, Messinia, where they allegedly targeted farmers over an extended period. Following their arrest, the suspects have been referred to prosecutors for further proceedings.
